What happens once a company develops an electric tractor and plans to bring it to market?
in the case of, fendt e107 v vario tractormade its public debut. agritechnica, one of the tasks is to develop instruments that are compatible with new innovations. That’s where Eerka Lauwen and Lauwen Agro Engineering come into the picture.
In this report from the recent Agricultural Innovation Showcase in Hannover, Germany, Loewen talks to Real Agriculture’s Bernard Tobin about how he has begun tackling weed control challenges on his family’s farm using an in-furrow weeding system. I told the story. The system was eventually developed into an agricultural weed control concept. Fendt electric tractor E-Vario.
The Fendt + Lauwen E-Vario weeding machine is one of five winners of the DLG-Agrifuture Concept at Agritechnica, which recognizes pioneering achievements and vision for the future in agricultural technology. This weeding machine incorporates an electrically driven weeding module that optimizes power consumption. Modular setup allows easy adaptation to multiple farming conditions and crops.
Loewen points out that AI-based plant and weed detection using in-vehicle cameras for surveillance will establish the foundation for future full autonomy. See the report below.
